As Minos and his group headed for the mountain where one of the enormous ancient skeletons in this area was supposed to be, a group was following their footsteps at a distance.
In this group, three Spiritual Saints, two level 71 and one level 72 followed the clues from Minos' group.
Several days after the departure of Minos and his wives from the territory of the Gray Clouds Sect, Lance's group had managed to pass on the information of his passage to people in the Saints Killing Sect.
With that, the families of that sect who had orchestrated the plot with Abe Vogel to avenge their dead on the Black Plain decided to act upon coming into contact with such information. They immediately sent three of their leaders, the people who were in this group now.
